One week until I return to school as a teacher. Today I recieved my blog assignment and I feel so highly technical. I just finished working on our school website and now my own bento blog spot. Thanks Maki! continue reading...

During Maki's Veggie month, I dedicated three out of the seven days of the week to just eat vegetables and fruits. So, it was kinda like being a vegetarian for half the week.
